The Lord has a sword bathed in blood;
    it’s covered[a] with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
    and with fat from the kidneys of rams.”

Judgment on Bozrah and Edom

“For the Lord holds a sacrifice in Bozrah,
    and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Wild oxen will fall together with them—
    young steers and mighty bulls.
Their land will be drenched[b] with blood,
    and their soil will be swollen with fat.
For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
    a year of recompense for Zion’s cause.
